This statement on education is not a statement on public education and the existential threat charter schools present to public schools. Under California charter law privately managed charter schools are funded by the same taxpayer dollars meaning one system grows at the expense of the other. This statement does not address whether or not you support competition between publicly managed and privately managed charter schools nor the harm that 25 years of charter schools has done to public education in California.
